Default XP and 98 pc can't connect to each other

I've

other

all
| of this has been tested. I also know that the config of the cards is
correct
| because each card has had my broadband connection linked into it as a test
| which worked.
|
| When directly linked to each other, the 2 network cards don't even show
| the link light on the network cards. I've been tearing my hair out. Anyone
| got any ideas??

I'm having the same problem and I *do* have a cross over cable. (the lights
work and the cable is known to be good)
